The Main Quest had appeared very suddenly.
Even Yang Ling was somewhat shocked.
He had only bad-mouthed a few people with Zhao Zheng in private. How had that triggered the Main Quest?
On an ordinary day, the Zhao State's Divine Realm Chat Channel received roughly a dozen messages a second.
After all, sending messages cost money.
Even players seeking parties or trading equipment, who had already amassed considerable silver, would not spam the channel.
But after this regional Main Quest appeared, the messages shot from a dozen per second to hundreds, even thousands.
Yang Ling said a quick goodbye to Zhao Zheng and withdrew to Fire Flood Dragon Island first.
Only after returning to Fire Flood Dragon Island did he begin studying the quest details.
[Help the Crown Prince ascend the throne. Difficulty: A+] [Help the Second Prince ascend the throne. Difficulty: S] [Help the Third Prince ascend the throne. Difficulty: A+] [Help the Fourth Prince ascend the throne. Difficulty: SSS]
"Are you kidding me? The Third Prince has the same difficulty as the Crown Prince? Is that bastard already preparing a rebellion?"
Yang Ling's expression grew somewhat grave. Then he glanced at Zhao Zheng's SSS difficulty and felt as disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly alive.
"SSS basically means a Land Immortal will be joining the fight."
"So if the first three ascend the throne, Land Immortals most likely won't act, but if I help Zhao Zheng ascend, that might bring attacks from one or even two Land Immortals?"
"So that's why it's rated 3S. Interesting."
"The game probably only considered factors within the Zhao State itself when setting the difficulty."
"I'm a player, so I definitely wouldn't have been factored in."
"Without my support, Zhao Zheng's difficulty in ascending the throne would be 3S.
